- Loosen and tighten the bolts and nuts on the covers or housings in a diagonal sequence.
- The tightening specifications given apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.
- Clean the threads on bolts that were installed with locking fluid. Then insert the bolts with Locking Fluid.
- Threaded holes where self-locking bolts or bolts with locking compound were installed must be cleaned with a thread tap. Otherwise the bolts may shear off when installing again.
- Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
